FRISCO, Texas – The Cowboys are visiting with free agent receiver Randall Cobb on Monday at The Star. Cobb, one of the higher-rated free agents still available on the market, spent his career with the Packers as a dynamic receiver in the slot, who can also play on the outside and return punts.
The Cowboys lost Cole Beasley to the Bills in free agency and have since signed Tavon Austin, although he isn’t considered to be a full-time slot replacement for Beasley.
Cobb on the other hand, would be able to fill that role, having caught 470 passes for 5,524 yards and 41 touchdowns in his eight-year career for the Packers that has included a Pro Bowl selection in 2014.
Cobb will 29 before the start of the season, played in just nine games last year for the Packers, catching 38 passes for 383 yards and two TDs.
